Why do people think we are in control of evolution?

Talk about privileged, am I right?

I suppose it could be argued that we have some extent of control over the evolution of other organisms. In a closed system, for instance, we can effectively control the evolution of things from bacteria and plant life to dogs and livestock via artificial selection. With respect to or own evolution, though, there’s no doubt in my mind that we have no control.
